Ascents in World as Onsight or Top rope onsight by Alex Mougenot

Can't really remember this, but I remember enjoying it, and the slabby crux up high? I think? Ben gave it a crack on lead

Yeah baby. Was climbing in sun, then as I entered the crux the clouds rolled by to give me a hand, and brought the winds along with them to help me up the onsight. Cloud power!!! Wonderfully absorbing line that doesn't quite let up from whence it gets steep until you're over that final headwall.

Loved the balancy, no hands crux down low. That top crux was staunch, though! I forgot what committing to small crimps outdoors felt like haha. A cool dyno from Ben on second.

First route of the trip, and a nice one. As soon as I got onto the wall proper of this, I was reminded first hand of why I love Bluies climbing. Blank faces, precise footwork, classy delicate movement. Love it. Cheeky note: This is the day Lana fought through and did Pompadour!!!

Quite an apt name! Interesting moves up the corner. Bomber gear.

Oooooh my climbing libido was getting aroused on this one. Yeaaaaaah baby!

What a special route. The crux was cool, for sure, but the real magic lies above, in the constant moderate climbing above in an awesomely atmospheric position. Stellar. Stoked to come back here and try the rest of the routes over this side of the wall.

Wacky is the right word. Quite hard to read, and it's hard to know if you're supposed to be around the arete, or on the face. Awesome exposure traversing up high! Part of a big, awesome day with perfect conditions and top notch mates. Couldn't ask for more!

A mischievously exposed finish. Loved it! However, you definitely feel drawn into that left crack, only being brought back right by the bolt. Still, good climbing!

Cool climbing, with a classy crux up high. Bring a 0.3 BD cam for the topout!

I had suuuuch a fun time zenning out on this. So delicate and demanding of good body position and footwork. The lukewarm air, cool breezes, shade, good friends, clear head, and flock of small yellow butterflies that were adorning the mountain sent me into an awesome flow state. Refreshing!

Cool Coolum-ish jug-thugging!

Das a cool gaston-ey pinch!

Juuuuuuugs! I love juuugs

Loved this at the time, but was definitely outshone by Maponus p1 and Voluptuous! Linked this with Maponus p2. Even so, well worth the effort.

Linked with Gut Punch the Buddha. In my opinion, there's no other way to go if you want to do Maponus p2. It's a continuous straight line bottom to top for 37m! You can rap back down to the ledge easy, as well. Aside from this, p2 was sick. A cool mix of crimpy face and some jams/fingerlocks, with surprisingly bombproof wires, and a great easy slab topout to boot!

I really enjoyed this. All in all I really like White Rock slabbing! Protip: Fingerlocking/stacking in those pockets was pretty helpful. Never really done that before.

Downclimbed this first to get down off Antiquity, then climbed back up. Cool offwidth problem, shame about the chimney at the bottom and the face holds. Practiced double armbarring for the first time! FUNKAYYYY

Confused at to the start of this. I think I started on the slopey rail? There's nothing below it haha.

Even better than #1, with some awesome delicate moves and presses.

So not a V3. V1/2?

Pretty nice.

Quite a nice and strange wandery line! Enjoyed it. Would like to see anchors and this rebolted, tbh!

Super quality, especially for the grade!

With Scott Camps. I love how the seam opens up in perfect intervals with gorgeous in-cut crimps.

Suhweet!

Perfect locks above!

Beautiful.

Doesn't look like much, but it climbs fantastically.

Classic! Cool holds and flowy movement whole way through.

Beaaaautiful line! Tried to use wires where I could, so that definitely put me more on edge. Need to develop keener eyes for wire placements!

I had to fight hard at the top! Such flowy stemming and crackwork to be had on this! In the full sun. Brilliant.

What a beauty! Wondrous 3D chimneying that forces you to be really conscious of your surroundings. But my calves .... Took a bit of time to commit to the offwidth section, but once I committed to the armbars it went well ... grunt-a-licious, but well This has been on my mind for a looong time. Stoked to tick it off.

Superb line, but at the same time I found it unnerving. I found it hard to trust that there will be gear higher up, when I looked up to only see a thin crack haha.

Cruisy ... kidding. I was on edge from the 1st bolt till the 3rd. Scariest part was definitely heading from the 1st to 2nd bolts. As much of a reputation as this route has, it's pretty well bolted - the runout sections where it matters is pretty cruisy. Definitely recommend this for someone who'd like some mental training, and good climbing!

Funky ass off-widthing. Used a bit of everything. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

What a sick line. Keeps you on your toes as it just doesn't let up until the thin crack ends!.Wasted soooo much time and energy placing about 10 bits of gear in the first thin crack! Something to work on.

You beauty. This has been a long time coming, and I want to do it again. Absolutely fantastic. Climbed it in 2 pitches, me linking the first 2, and Liam linking the last 3 in a MEGA pitch. Had a sketchy when I climbed over into the belay cave, and mid-mantle had a quickdraw on my harness clip itself into my last placement, yoinking me back haha.

Not particularly exceptional climbing, but a great route for sure! First pitch was a rude surprise compared to the walk I was expecting haha. Climbed it in 3 pitches. Gotta love a nice long pitch. You get really good views of the entire summit cave going up this and traversing from the top across to Trojan.

EDIT: Did not notice the nesting peregrine falcons notice. Did not see any falcons nearby while on route, though. Only flying in the distance. Does anybody know where they usually nest? The only time I saw a falcon was when we were on the summit.

Linked w/ p3. Fun laybacking up the start.

This is a lot of fun! Sweet stemming moves up the chimney. A real shame about the poor reachy botling, though. Different bolt locations would give a lot more to the route.

W/out natural pro - just ran out the top. Now THIS was nice! It's almost a shame that the start is so bouldery haha Awesome climbing follows in between that all the way to the top. Deserves waaaay more traffic than it gets.

Wondered what this thing actually was and climbed it haha. Good fun and a nice route. An anchor and rings wouldn't go astray.

Again, felt super hard! Pumped silly and didn't climb this well, but I can

Really made me think hard! Almost got pumped silly but Rob was bang on when he said that this place teaches you to keep plugging on when pumped. Awesome.

Funnily this felt easier than the 20s, although I think that was down to adjusting to Pulpit style better.

Super sweet climbing - that start is nails! There were some really interesting holds on this one!

Initially mindblown by the style of climbing here. Bizarre but awesome.

Felt hard for 16 it gets in the new guide. Cool laybackey and jamming moves, though fully trusting that sitting block spooked me out haha A good start to LLL.

Made this waaaay harder for myself by wearing a loose sweater and a bandolier ... and trying to climb it like an offwidth haha. Learnt a lot from this one!

Cracker! New guide says 17 but it didn't give me as much trouble as 17s usually do ...

Yew! Took a gamble trying this as a warm-up but I managed to find my way through w/out too much pump. Soooo worth it for that compression-ey arete sequence at the start and the corner.

Wooow this is NICE! Enjoyed this all the way from the bottom to the top. Finally feeling more confident with offwidth/squeeze ability! Used a gear sling to rack up on this and it worked a treat with the start and top body chimney (which was sweet!)
